Jaromir Jagr was traded for the fourth time in his career on Thursday afternoon. The previous three trades have not resulted in much of a return for the team that has traded one of the NHL's greatest all-time players.

The Thursday-night schedule is stacked with great season-opening games. From the Avalanche and Wild resuming their Central Division rivalry to the season debuts of new coaches Barry Trotz and Mike Johnston in separate games, it should be a great night.
